Little Dolphins Long Day Care Centre

I looked after my niece and nephew when they were very young (10 months and 0 month) for 6 months. Looked after my grandsons during weekends since they were 3 and six years.I have a lot of interaction with niece and nephews who are 4-7 years and grandsons 8.7 and 11.8 years.I also have 34 years of Elementary teaching experience (Primary School Teacher).I have completed Certificate III in Children's Services in May 2014.

We used to love this centre however as management has changed, we found communication was a big issue with emails not being responded to, and our requests re: our children not being met. We also found the children watching TV at the centre on several occasions, which is not exactly what we are paying money for. Also no info or photos etc throughout the day which is sad because I would love to see what the kids are up to. Disappointing to see it go downhill after our favourite educators left.

Such a warm environment for my daughter. She has not only made beautiful new friendships with the children in her class but with the educators as well. The educators not only show love but professionalism and care. I’m very happy and at ease that my child is happy and safe there and is always coming home with something new! Also appreciate the Positive living skills incorporated in their program and learning which my child has gained since starting at the centre.Fantastic job Little Dolphins and Thank you.

I didn't have a very good experience with Little Dolphins, true my daughter didn't settle there but that has a lot to do with the environment they have. Teachers are NOT interested, at least in the class my daughter was in. They talk to kids only in a scolding manner. Very old school method, kids who looked settled there probably had been with them from the very start. Lovely friendly coordinator and owner but the two teachers in my daughter's class were unpleasant. Being an adult I felt uncomfortable listening to them telling off kids. Probably works for long settled kids but not new ones already anxious. They probably have the best interest for kids but I don't think that's what they need when they are 3! Some soft spoken, genuinely interested in kids teachers would be helpful I'm sure. We have closed our chapter there and are in a new daycare and what a difference there is! Send your kid when he is used to being spoken in a constant scolding manner and teachers who are just not interested.

My daughter has just graduated the place, after more than two years being there at least three days a week.Great educators, supervisor and Chief. My daughter was well looked after, she loves the place and sad to leave to big school. A lot of entertainment, development programs, toys and state toon, Highly recommend the place. Thank you Fotini, Koula, Emma, Irene, Hala and all others for taking good care of us.
